I have owned the 1Ds, 1DsM2, and have a XT that I use as a backup. When I found out that Canon was going to release a DsM3, I sold my M2 on eBay. In the interim, Nikon of course released an awesome camera, the D3. I looked long and hard at both cameras.
Build; improved ergonomics; ability to configure settings to personal needs; great viewfinder; live view; good 3" LCD - great compared to anything previous; amazing resolution at 21.1 megapixels; fast fps ability at such high resolution
cost; could use AF in live view
